Senator Allison and His Record.

A public man often finds a record an
undesirable thing to have. A case in
point is that of Senator Allison, of Iowa
The Senator is an able man, and a very
good man mis- neighbors think. He has
had Presidential aspirations for several
years and not without reason. He has
shown himself to be a very intelligent
legislator, and has had q great deal of
experience both in the House and Senate.
The chances for Mr.. Blaine's renomi-
nation are not quite as good as be would
like to have them. The conviction is
gradually getting firm grip on his party
that he is not as popular as he was in
1884, and his popularity then was not
sufficient to lead his party to victory.
Senator Sherman is actively seeking the
nomination, but he does not appear to be
making much progress. He is a man of
marked ability, but somehow or other his
party doesn't take kindly TO him. He re-.
pels rather than attracts.
Senator Allison, while not magnetic
man, is popular. Men like him because
he is apDroachable and appears to be
sincere. There is no doubt that his party
has him Ii mind in connection with the
Presidential nomination. But how about
his record? At this time, when party
lines are so clearly drawn on the tariff
question, the Republican party must have
a Presidential candidate who stands
squarely for protection. Nobody seems to
know exactly how Senator Allison stands
on that question. He hasn't talked about
it much since he has been in the Senate.
When he was in the House, however, he
was regarded as pretty good tariff re-
former. lie comes from a section of coun-
try that doesn't take much stock in pro-
lection, aud in his early public life he
spoke his sentiments freely and made q
record. II is PROBABLE that he nnds this
record on the tariff rather announcement
at this time.

The Fight against the Coercion Bill.

The Fight against the Coercion Bill.
! The meeting in London to condemn the
Irish coercion bill, an account OF which
appears in our dispatches this morning,
was large and enthusiastic. The meet
ing TO be held in this city tonight for the
same purpose, while It will not be any
where near as large as the London meet
Ing, will doubtless be fully as enthusiasts
tic. In many parts of this country resO.
lutions declaring the bill to be tyrannicGl
in its character and wholly uncalled for
by the present condition of affairs in Ire
land have been passed by State Legisla-
lures and public meetings.
In an interest ting interview in the New
York Tribune a day or two ago Mr.. Par
nell said that these expressions OF SYM
patty in the United States were doing the
cause Of Ireland in Parliament great
good. They tend to convince members Of
the Liberal party who are now acting
with the government that the sentiment
of a great part of the civilized world Is
against them, and that perhaps they are
making mistake. 1t is certain that the
action of the speaker in closing the
debate on Mir. parnelFs amendment to
the bill, when it had been discussed
only one day, and, that too, in the face OF
the protest of Mr.. Gladstone and very
strong minority, has aroused in England
very strong feeling against She bill and
the course Of the government with regard
to it. This feeling Is just now beginning
to manifest itself. Its effect will doubt
less be apparent when the vote on the
second reading Of the bill is taken.
Mr.. Parnell expresses the opinion that
the bill will not become a law in its pres
ent shape, and thinks that the arbitrary
and unprecedented action of the MAORI
ty, in shutting off debate ON his amend
ment without giving the minority a fair
chance to be beard, has greatly strength
ened the opposition to 1t.
1t is probable that if the bill passes,
even in a modified form, there will be
very unhappy times in Ireland. Evic-
tions VIII, of course, follow, and, as MIR.
Parnell points out, crimes OF more or
less grave character are pretty certain to
be committed.
The land bill which is now pending in
the House of Lords is another move in
the interest OF the landlords. If 1t should
become law the whole machinery ofevlc-
ton would be III the hands Of the friends
OF the landlords. II tenant should at
tempt to get his rent reduced, in &C
cOrdance. with its provisions, and
partisan judge should decide against
him, he would be SO overwhelmed with
costs that it would be very easy matter
to deprive him of his tenant right and his
home.
The Irish people ought certainly to
come out ahead in their present fight.
They are not only doing what they can
for themselves, but they have the moral
and material support of millions of people
outside of Ireland.
